So, Jane turned 11 months the day I had my surgery. Typing has been difficult, and internet is spotty (we are house sitting), so I'll keep this short, and fascinating, of course.
Words:
Momom
dadada
hi
nononono
all done
all gone
there she is!
alex (Eric's brother is staying with us, and Jane will yell his name, pretty cute!)
dog (new today, there is a dog where we are house sitting, she quite likes her)
don't (we think, she told her cousins today "don't" when they took her toys)
With all this linguistic ability, you'd think she'd be able to get "please" down...although she has signed it twice.
My surgery has been tough on the little tike, and the big tike, and me too. I can't hug anyone, can't hold Jane, and for the first five days had to keep Jane at least two feet away. Very SAD! It's taught me how important loving and kissing and human touch is--Jane has been pretty grumpy, easily upset, and very whiney since the surgery. (Her mother probably has been, too!)
She's finally realized the advantage of crawling and uses it now to chase us out of the room. She's "accidently" learned to crawl for real, instead of her gimpy army crawl (she only pulls one leg forward and drags the other). When she moves from sitting to her stomach, she gets on her hands and knees, she'll take two "steps" before she realizes it and then gets on her stomach and gimps the rest of the way. Hilarious.
Picky, picky eater!! Hopefully it's a phase.
She knows where her food goes now, at least most of the time. If we say "in your mouth or on the tray" she'll either eat it or put it down (and then point at the tray) at least 85% of the time. We've also noticed a few times now that she lines up her cheerios in a straight line before eating them...uh oh is right! OCD starting already!
That's all I've got in me for now, sorry Jane's future baby book...
OH- and I'd love to hear how you all have celebrated (or will celebrate) 1st birthdays. I haven't a clue on what to do.

Sorry to hear about your surgery. Are you doing better? Hope so.
We are going with a cowboy/western themed birthday. Since Tucker is my little Texan, I thought it only appropriate.
WHAT? I didn't know you had surgery. I think we'd better have a chat.
By the way, my boy is 11 months and doesn't say any real words. But, then, he is destined to say 1/3 as many words as your little tike. Maybe he has already started.....
